Happy Birthday Daddy!

With yesterday's celebration, Daddy unforutnatley didn't get to work until past 8 PM - but he still had deadlines to meet - so to work he went.  So when 6:30 AM rolled around, not sure if Daddy was all that thrilled to be getting the birthday wake- singing accompanied by hugs and kisses, but always a sport Daddy played along. 

After that an owl outside too was hooting for Daddy's birthday - which was very interesting to all of us.

And while a celebration was in store, I knew we had some work to do - so leaf duty we were on starting at 7:45 AM (sorry neighbors!).

Indeed we were busy.

Coming in for a late breakfast at 11:30 - brought Grandma and Gramps soon after - and you know Matteo & Chloe May are always tickled pink for Grandma.

Later our friends Ally & Elissa stopped by  - with the best gifts for Daddy - homemade.

Soon after another set of friends  - bearing some frozen soup and tea for Daddy - also just in time to sing and celebrate

 

 and wouldn't you know 36 candles later we indeed again singing to our Daddy.

We thank God for the Gift of Daddy - Jules - a man who is simple- yet wise, funny - yet reserved. 

Special thanks for all those who stopped by, sent a card, phoned or emailed - it was lovely of you all.
